IMS Routing of Initial SIP INVITE
INVITE The S-CSCF removes the Route header and
INVITE called@hims2.net SIP/2.0,
routes the INVITE to the I-CSCF IP address
P-Asserted-Identity: obtained from the DNS query. Note that the
<caller@hims1.net>,
<tel:+13015556666>,
S-CSCF has added the telephone URL to the
Via: <Orig S-CSCF> <Orig P-CSCF> P-Asserted-Identity. The Via and
<Calling-UE>,
Record-Route: <Orig S-CSCF> <Orig
Record-Route headers are also updated with
P-CSCF>, self address.

Query the SLF to locate HSS The I-CSCF queries the Subscription Location
Function (SLF) to identify the HSS that needs
to be queried.
Query HSS to identify the S-CSCF for this SIP Query the HSS to obtain the S-CSCF for the
Dialog user.
INVITE As a part of the message processing, a route
INVITE called@hims2.net SIP/2.0,
entry is added for the Term S-CSCF. A new Via
P-Asserted-Identity: header is added to record that the message
<caller@hims1.net>,
<tel:+13015556666>,
traversed this I-CSCF. The message is
Via: <Term I-CSCF> <Orig S-CSCF> forwarded to the first route header (in this
<Orig P-CSCF> <Calling-UE>,
Route: <Term S-CSCF>,
case, the "Term S-CSCF").

183 Session Progress 183 message just retraces the path of the
Via: <Term I-CSCF> <Orig S-CSCF>
original INVITE. Each note removes its down
<Orig P-CSCF> <Calling-UE>, entry from the via header and forwards the
Record-Route: <Term S-CSCF> <Orig
S-CSCF> <Orig P-CSCF>,
message to the Via entry at the top. The
Contact: <Calling UE IP> :Port, Record-Route header is not touched.
